Any guesses who is providing shelter for sanitary workers who have come from other parts of the State to clean the city of Chennai, after the floods destroyed homes?

It is Rajinikanth. The actor has opened up his Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam to house sanitary workers, brought in from other districts.

He has also ensured that they get basic facilities free of cost. The city has been struggling to dispose of its waste after the flood waters receded, leaving a garbage trail.

The sanitary workers have been brought in from areas such as Namakkal, Karur, Pallipalayam and Tiruppur.

The workers are expected to stay at the Kalyana Mandapam till their work in Chennai is complete.
